Hi, @adminfacc
Try manually deactivating your plugin (no Dashboard access required) using one of the two methods listed below (also described here).
1. Deactivate your plugin via FTP or the file manager provided in your host’s control panel.
- Navigate to the
wp-contents/plugins folder
- Rename the folder
really-simple-ssl in it to really-simple-ssl.hold
- Login to your WordPress then go to Dashboard > Plugins
yourdomain.com/wp-admin/plugins.php – this will disable any plugin that is “missing”, so in your case really-simple-ssl.
2. Use phpMyAdmin to deactivate all plugins.
- In the table wp_options, under the option_name column (field) find the
active_plugins row
- Change the
option_value field to: a:0:{}. This will deactivate all plugins.
- Then from Dashboard you need to reactivate all plugins, except the one causing you troubles – really-simple-ssl
After you regain access to your Dashboard,
I recommend asking at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/really-simple-ssl/ so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.
Hope this helps,
Kind regards!
Does anyone know how to navigate PHPwebhosting? I don’t know how to do any of these things within that hosting.
@adminfacc I recommend contacting your hosting provider and ask them for help with using their control pannel. You might find useful information online, but the best is to ask them. Also, please make sure you backup your database, just in case something goes wrong.
